I think there is a slang expression to "off" someone, meaning to kill.

I parsed it the same as Chris:-

to 'Off' someone is to kill them, so the person doing the 'Offing' is the 'Offer'. if that makes sense.

This is from the Free Online Dictionary:-

vb
27. (tr) to kill (someone)

It's commonly used in American gangster films.
